Application contextual menu is no more displayed after a SHIFT+ right click in Windows Taskbar

[ypapouin]

Issue Type: Bug

After setting new menu style

"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"

Application contextual menu is no more displayed after a SHIFT+ right click in Windows Taskbar. If you revert to native, the menu comes back.

Note that in both configuration, a right click on the title bar is correctly showing the application contextual menu.

As I already wrote in #65900: The Window Menu doesn't open either when left clicking the custom titlebar's icon on Windows, nor does of course double-clicking the icon execute the menu's default item and close the window.

Edit: I just saw that #58199 is about just that issue and #65092 about adding the setting @sbatten mentions here that at least allows to close the window by double clicking the icon.

Why/how is it being displayed when right clicking the titlebar?

[sbatten]

@myfairsyer That menu is provided by Windows itself and with frameless menus, it only comes up on right-click of draggable regions like the titlebar. The app icon can have double click to close but this removes the ability to drag the window from the top left. The setting is window.doubleClickIconToClose

Another electron issue with frameless windows. Feel free to close out of scope.
